Lists- Simple Question
I have a drop-down list created with my account numbers. When I select an
account number from the drop-down list, I would like for the account name to appear in the cell to the right of the cell with the account number. Any help would be great! THANK YOU! |

Lists- Simple Question
Use VLOOKUP
Assuming your drop down is in A1 in sheet 1 and your account no and names data is in Sheet 2, COl A & B then enter this in B1 of sheet 1; =VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!A:B,2,FALSE) "GA85" wrote: I have a drop-down list created with my account numbers.

Enter this in B1 on Sheet 2
then enter this in B1 of sheet 1; =VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet1!A:B,2,FALSE) You may have to hit F9 to force recalculation.
